The Village Square of Tallahassee

Fridays at 7:00 pm ET as Scheduled

The Village Square is a nervy bunch of liberals and conservatives who believe that disagreement and dialogue make for a good conversation, a good country (and a good time).

It is a non-partisan public educational forum on matters of local, state and national importance dedicated to maintaining factual accuracy in civic and political debate by growing civil dialog on divisive issues, and recalling the history and principles at the foundation of our democracy.

To the Village Square, Inc. is a not-for-profit corporation incorporated in the State of Florida and organized under Chapter 617 of the laws of the State of Florida and Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

“All Bollocksed Up? America + the World, Trump & Brexit” is the intriguing title of this Village Square community forum, featuring a conservation with Dr. Justin Gest, the author of “The New Minority: White Working Class Politics in an Age of Immigration and Inequality.”

The Village Square presents “An Evening with Peter Kageyama: For the Love of Cities” in partnership with Leon County, the City of Tallahassee, the Village Square and KCCI, recorded at Tallahassee’s Challenger Learning Center.

“You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby? The Politics of the Feminine” with panelists: Staci Fox, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of North Florida; Rosalind Fuse-Hall, executive director Title III Programs with Florida A&M University; and Suzanne Venker, author, commentator and married mother of two.

Florida voters will decide the fate of eleven proposed amendments to the state's constitution during this election. This is the Village Square's second and final discussion about what the amendments would actually do if enacted; who is for them and who's against them.

To the Village Square, Tallahassee’s open political and public policy forum, begins a discussion of the eleven constitutional amendments Florida voters will decide on the November sixth ballot. Panelists take on proposed measures to cut property taxes for selected homeowners, as well as a cap for state tax revenue.

City of Tallahassee and Leon County officials join with other community leaders for some serious crystal ball-gazing. The fast-paced program includes discussion of the Midtown, Gaines Street and Cascades Park developments and what those might mean to the future of the Capital City.

Relations between the Capital City’s local governments haven’t always been cordial. But in this Village Square forum, majorities from both the Tallahassee City and Leon County commissions sit down together to talk about what they’ve been up to and how what they do actually has an impact on the lives of average citizens. They also field some pretty pointed questions from a packed house at St. John’s Episcopal Church.
